Pan-American Relations
Discussed by Dr. Tavares
By EDITH NEWTON
Inter-American relations should be on a more personal
basis to make the good will policy between the Americas a
success, Dr. Hernane Tavares de Sa, visitor from Brazil, told
students Tuesday when he spoke at an all-campus assembly.
For the past nine months Dr. Tavares has been visiting
schools in all parts of the United States to study classes and
laboratories in preparation of a
report he will make to the Bra
zilian government concerning
education.
Dr. Tavares will speak this
morning to the 9 o’clock class in
^editing of Dean Eric W. Allen of
.the journalism school.
According to Dr. Tavares “The
United States discovered South
America in the 1940’s—400 years
behind.’’
Divorcee
Many concepts the America’s
have about each other are from
movies, Dr. Tavares explained
when he told of a Brazilian fam
ily who expected an American
girl who was coming to visit to
have been divorced several times.
Students and professors should
he the leaders in the attempt to
establish better relations, he pro
fessor from Brazil said.
By living in South America for
a year, people in the United
States can have a better under
standing of their southern neigh
bors and learn more about the
country than any amount of
study nr reading could teach
them, he said.
More Serious
North American students have
begun to take a more serious at
titude towards great world prob
lems in the last six months, Dr.
Tavares told his large audience
in McArthur court.
“In this sense I believe the war
is doing a great deal of good,”
Dr. Tavares continued about the
effect of the war on students.
From the University of Sao
Paula where Dr. Tavares is a
professor of biology he brought
a message the students had pre
pared and sent with him to be
read at each of the 75 schools he
will visit while here.
Good Will
The message, translated from
Portuguese to English, reads, “We
Brazilian students of the Univer
sity of Sao Paula send this mes
sage of good will to our .fellow
students in the universities of
the United States.
“We believe in the united front
of the American republics.
“We believe that such a front
must rest on the cooperation and
friendship between our two coun
tries.
“And we know of no stronger
foundation for this friendship
than the understanding and com
radeship between the young men
and women of our universities. It
would grow with us, and keep
our two- nations together in the
years to come.
“To such an understanding and
comradeship we pledge our
selves.’’
The parchment scroll Dr. Ta
vares brought from his school in
Brazil will be on display today
in the circulation room of the li
brary.
The message was on parch
ment decorated with ribbons of
the Sao Paula school’s colors, the
same as Oregon’s green and yel
low.
Dr. Tavares was introduced by
Dr. Victor P. Morris, dean of the
school of business administration.
His speech was preceded by a
violin number by Elizabeth Walk
er, accompanied by Phyllis Gray.
Red Cross Opens
Volunteer Rolls
The Nurses Aide program is
getting under way this week in
Eugene, with interviews being
conducted at the Red Cross head
quarters, 33 West 8th. All women
between the ages of 18 and 50
who wish to volunteer time to
assist the regular nurses at the
Sacred Heart hospital, are asked
to registed Wednesday and Thurs
dayday between 1 and 4 p.m. at
the Red Cross headquarters down
town.
Girls are needed to take care
of children while the town moth
ers are doing this volunteer nurs
ing. Any girl available and
anxious to do her part, should
register with Janet Smith, the
campus employment secretary.
This was also stressed by Miss
Margaret Woodruff, nursing con
sultant for the Red Cross nurs
ing service of Oregon, here on an
official visit.
“We hope,” said Miss Wood
ruff, “that as many girls as pos
sible and who are interested will
go into regular nurses’ training,
or will become nurses’ aides dur
ing their summer vacations. For
the armed forces have asked for
3000 trained nurses to be turned
out every month. A largo order,
and students can help by taking
care of children so the mothers
can become nurses’ aides, releas
ing regular nurses for active war
duty. There is a job for everyone
in America who is mentally and
physically sound, from baby to
106," concluded Miss Woodruff.

J. Wesley Sullivan, 1943 editor,
announced Tuesday, “The trend
of UO yearbooks has been build
ing up for the last seven years.
Its style seems to especially cov
er the University of Oregon.
Credit is due to all who helped
establish this style to which we
will tend to conform in the 1943
book.”
Nut Attract
(Continued from page one)
hundreds of pounds of nuts are
going- to waste for lack of pick
ers, they “piled cut,” primped a
little so as not to be caught at a
disadvantage—even by a filbert,
and began thinking of the job at
hand.
“Ai-e THOSE filberts, ex
claimed one of the not too agri
cultural members of the victory
pickin' party.
Mr. Clem Howels, owner of the
nut farm, cleared up the all-im
portant puzzle by pointing out
which were nuts and which were
just old stones.
With their objective now clear
ly in mind, the girls each took an
empty five-gallon can, picked out
a “special tree of their own,”
squatted on burlap sacks, and be
gan picking like veterans of many
a filbert harvest.
City and University officials
expressed' the hope that other
campus organizations would take
up the idea and thus avert an un
necessary waste of the valuable
nuts. Most of the girls said that
they were buying defense stamps
with the money they earned.
Eleven weekly programs for
classroom listening are being
broadcast over station WHA.
'Join Reserve-Con tinue 0
School’ Says Lt Davis
The following statement was issued Tuesday by Lt. R. G.
Davis, recruiting officer for the enlisted reserve corps:
“Any student who has reason to believe that he will be
drafted in the next few months, and wishes to remain in school
as long as possible, should enlist in a reserve program imme
diately because:
1. “It is impossible to enlist
in any reserve after receiving
your induction papers.
2. “The selective service quo
tas are being increased each
month.
3. “Draft boards are calling ad
ditional men each month to fill
their quotas and to replace men
who have enlisted in the various
reserve corps.”
A joint procurement board
of the army, navy, marines
and coast guard will be on the
campus for preliminary enlist
ment in the reserve corps,
October 27 through 29. See
story page I also.
In several cases students who
had previously been told by their
draft boards that they were not
likely to be called till December
or January have already been in
ducted. This is because the men
previously chosen to be called in
October have either joined a re
serve corps or voluntarily enlist
ed in the armed forces. This,
along with the fact that the draft
boards have larger quotas to fill,
necessitates their calling those
men whom they originally had
scheduled for October.
Example
Lt. Davis cited an example of
this when two students who had
received their induction papers,
came to him and tried to enroll in
the reserves. It was explained to
them that the laws of the selec
tive service act forbid joining any
reserve after being called. These
men had no alternative to turn
to and were forced to go into the
service without completing one
term of school. Davis advises all
men who find themselves about to
be drafted to enroll in a reserve
corps immediately, if they wi0 )
to stay in school for at least one
term.

Coca-Cola is Coca-Cola itself.”
